Digitizing Print Collections with the Internet Archive
Open and free online access, permanent storage, unlimited downloads and lifetime file management. |
We can help digitize your collections in 4 simple steps: |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Non-destructive color scanning using our Scribe system at one of our scanning centers across the globe. Complete MARC records, Dublin Core & XML, just 10c per image.
|
Create and upload high-quality JP2000 images; persistent identifiers, lifetime hosting of files, lifetime management of file system and file access.
|
Create archival quality PDF files; run OCR across texts to allow "search inside" all books. Add to Internet Archive search engine; display via our open source Book Reader.
|
In addition to permanent hosting on archive.org, your books will be integrated with Open Library, openlibrary.org, a page on the web for every book.
